Eglin hospital doctors' office could open in downtown Crestview

CRESTVIEW — Crestview's downtown medical facilities might soon include a new professional building for Eglin Air Force Base Hospital doctors.

Public Works Director Wayne Steele said a General Services Administration contractor expressed interest in converting the Spy Chest office building on Main Street into the facility.

The GSA would require limiting access to the alley next to the building for security. Moveable bollards would block the alley when necessary, Steele said.

The city council unanimously approved pursuing the project as long as title search results confirm that the city owns the alley.
